Studies with the computer-guided perimeter "Peritest" on the effect of Cosaldon A+E on glaucomatous visual field defects

Abstract

Investigations on 114 glaucoma patients with the computerized perimeter 'Peritest' showed that treatment with Cosaldon A + E resulted in a decrease or elimination of visual field defects. Favourable results were also obtained with statistical significance for severe visual field defects of defect class greater than or equal to 2.0 log U. Treatment time was generally 4-5 months. During the first 6-10 weeks of treatment strong fluctuations were observed regarding individual sensitivity of light perception as well as number of defect positions.
